New Radio Read Meters

New radio read meters are a welcomed addition to the water distribution system.
Lewisburg water made an investment in technology by recently allotting $500,000 to put in new "radio read" meters. These meters allow the meter reader to drive down the street with a laptop and pick up a radio signal. The meter reader does not have to get out of the truck. This will confuse some people who stay at home all day that will think nobody ever came to read their meter.

Lewisburg Water has completed the change out program for the city of Cornersville and Lewisburg routes are next to be changed out. Lewisburg Water has a total of 7,351 customers.

One of the key features of the new meters is data logging, which allows Lewisburg Water & Wastewater to provide detailed information on water usage. Customers can now find out exactly how much water was used during each hour of the day. This feature is particularly useful for identifying high water usage. For instance, if a customer is using a few gallons every hour, it might indicate a leaking toilet flapper valve.

High water usage during holidays, such as Christmas, can often be explained by the presence of guests taking extra showers.

Lewisburg Water is committed to using technology to improve customer service and ensure efficient water usage.

Installing the new “radio read” meters is a step forward in achieving this goal.
